Since Industry #Digital Summit is for #startup founders, it would be remiss of us not to realize that many of you out there are a little strapped for cash. But we don't want to leave anyone out. The conference is looking better and better every day with speakers like Ian Sigalow (Greycroft Partners), Martin Ringlein (nvite), Ira Weiss (Hyde Park Angels), Stefanie Spear (EcoWatch) and more being added weekly.So here's what we are going to do for folks working in startups that are less than 2 years old. The first 10 people to send us their details below, along with the name and description of their startup, will be able to register for $50. Then next 10, $75 and then next 10, $100. Got it?Depending on how hungry you really are, you will be able to get a ticket price that won't eat into your ramen noodles budget too much. Note: you'll have 1 day to purchase your ticket after being given your special discount code. #Tech#Cleveland#MidWest#entrepreneurship Cc: +Paul McAvinchey+Kelly Feliciano+Rebecca F.

Love the coverage in NYT about our #bipartisan efforts to woo a national political convention to Cleveland. I just wish they had made mention of the Greater Cleveland RTA (see below) by name.

"A bus system that serves downtown blocks, known as the Trolley, displays a marquee reading “Smile and Ride Free.”

“That has been huge,” said Mark Souther, a history professor at Cleveland State University who studies the decline and revitalization of Great Lakes cities. “Everyone rides those things. People from all walks of life, and they see people circulating through downtown.”

CLEVELAND — Attention, Internet wits: Cleveland has heard all your jokes — about “the mistake by the lake,” about its sports teams failing year after year, about its river so polluted that it once caught fire — and it wants you to know that is tired, worn-out stuff.

Really enjoyed the remarks this morning from Luis Alberto Moreno the President of the Inter-American Development Bank. He shared with us his thoughts on the bright future for #SouthAmerica, #economics in the Americas, and how #Cleveland can better position itself in the global economy. Would love for him to come speak at the The City Club of Cleveland! #GDP#EmergingMarkets#Latinos#Colombia#Latism ﻿
